How To Use Money We Don’t Have

I see in our neighborhood new playground equipment being installed in perfectly good playgrounds that, to me, seem adequate for our children. Streets that are in good repair are being torn up and replaced with new asphalt we don’t need and paid for with money we don’t have to produce jobs that don’t appear. Street corners where there is negligible traffic are being provided with expensive traffic lights and pedestrian walk lights where few people ever walk.

This is all being done with TARP money in order to “stimulate the economy.” Isn’t big government wonderful!
